7.5 The Angels Take amy lol

2.11 Fear Her

8.4 Listen, aka the first episode that Capaldi carries, despite Moffat being himself again

10.ii Twice Upon a Time (ugh we could’ve had a brilliant trilogy to see out Capaldi, but instead we get Moffat masturbating on live television for an hour. look, The Doctor could have had an actual character arc - they feel like they’re on borrowed time after their resurrection on Trenzalore, after the events on Gallifrey they feel like any sort of feelings of ‘duty’ as last of the time lords (as errant and fleeting as such feelings might’ve been) are resolved, and after failing their BIG MASSIVE SEASON 10 ARC with Missy and getting stabbed in the back, and BILL [redacted for spoilers], they’re happy to accept their death - and that’s where the season ends. yuletide 2017 could’ve ended this arc, they’re taught the love of the universe again, they see the goodness they bring to all life - Clara, i am a good man. and when they sit down to die, those words ‘maybe just one more go’ could’ve had the weight of the universe behind them, it could’ve been the greatest who line ever written, had that line actually had weight on its shoulders. Moffat is a hack. mystery-boxing is hacking, end of story. Capaldi, the finest actor ever in the role, was done dirty by scripts with no weight and planning. Grand Moff lives up his own arse - that power gives him the ability to write incredible episodes such as Heaven Sent and everything he ever touched under Davies - but it makes all series, arcs and continuity fall apart into a pile of shit. this episode is the finest example - a universe of potential, reduced to one hour of self-congratulatory masturbation)

2.10 Love and Monsters. yeah this high up

8.7 The anti-abortion episode. and it’s not just for that fact alone nonono, The Doctor is such an unbelievable unforgivable cunt this time. at least Clara calls them out in that brilliant final-ish scene BUT they’re still unforgivable AND they get forgiven anyway next week?? literally they take the way Clara’s character arc was going and throw it all in the bin

8.10 In The Forest of the Shite

11.7 Kerblam!

10.9 Empress of Mars aka i’m starting to think Mark Gatiss might be a bad writer actually

10.i is my hatred of Doctor Mysterio unwarranted? probably. but i still hate it

12.8 The Haunting of Villa Diodati, the most overrated episode fuck you. no it is not ‘the only good episode of season 12’ - it’s just as bad as the rest.

US television news outlets appear largely to be following the administration’s lead, minimizing any talk of ceasefire or de-escalation on the air. FAIR searched transcripts of the nightly news shows of the four major broadcast networks for one week (October 12–18) in the Nexis news database and Archive.org, and found that, even as the outlets devoted a great deal of time to the conflict, they rarely mentioned the idea of a ceasefire or de-escalation.

While ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News and PBS NewsHour aired a total of 105 segments primarily about Israel/Gaza and broader repercussions of the conflict, only eight segments included the word “ceasefire” or some form of the word “de-escalate.” (The word “de-escalate” never appeared without the word “ceasefire.”)

NBC and PBS aired three segments each with ceasefire mentions; CBS aired two, and ABC aired none.

The October 18 protest on Capitol Hill led by Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now demanding a ceasefire—a peaceful protest that ended with over 300 arrests—accounted for half of the mentions, briefly making the evening news that night on all the broadcast networks except ABC. (The protesters’ demand was mentioned in two segments on NBC.)

That was the only day CBS Evening News (10/18/23) mentioned a ceasefire or de-escalation, though correspondent Margaret Brennan also noted in that episode, in response to a question from anchor Norah O’Donnell referencing the protest, that Biden “refrained from calling a ceasefire. In fact, the US vetoed a UN resolution to that effect earlier today.” Brennan continued:

Given that there have now been 11 days of bombing of Gaza by Israel, with thousands killed, there is a perception in Arab countries that this looks like the US is treating Palestinian lives differently than Israeli lives.

Of course, one doesn’t have to live in an Arab country to see a double standard.

Only twice across all nightly news shows did viewers see anyone, guest or journalist, advocating for a ceasefire—both times on PBS NewsHour.

The NewsHour featured a phone interview with Gaza resident Diana Odeh (10/12/23), who described the dire situation on the ground and pleaded: “We need help. We don’t need money. We don’t need anything, but we need a ceasefire. People are getting worse and worse.”

A few days later, the NewsHour (10/18/23) brought on Marc Garlasco, a former Pentagon analyst currently serving as military advisor at PAX Protection of Civilians, who said: “You’re talking about 6,000 bombs in less than a week in Gaza, which is the size of Newark, New Jersey. It’s just incredibly dangerous to the population, and we need to have a ceasefire and get an end to this conflict as quickly as possible.”

Sunday shows and cable

Across the agenda-setting Sunday shows, which are largely aimed at an audience of DC insiders, the word “ceasefire” was entirely absent, except on CNN State of the Union (10/15/23)—but there, only in the context of reporting on a poll from earlier this year that found a strong majority of Gazans supporting the ceasefire that had previously been in place between Hamas and Israel.

Looking at the broader cable news coverage, where the 24-hour news cycle means much more coverage of the conflict, viewers were still unlikely to encounter any mention of the idea of a ceasefire. Using the Stanford Cable TV News Analyzer, FAIR found that mentions of “cease” appeared in closed captioning on screen for an average of only 19.7 seconds per day on Fox, 11.1 seconds per day on CNN, and 9.2 seconds per day on MSNBC. (FAIR used the shortened form of the word to account for variations in hyphenation and compounding; some false positives are likely.)

Meanwhile, mentions of “Israel” did not differ substantially across networks, averaging 18–20 minutes per day. (Note that this is not the amount of time Israel was discussed, but the amount of time mentions of “Israel” appeared onscreen in closed captions.)

Fox mentioned a ceasefire roughly twice as often as either CNN or MSNBC, largely to ridicule those on the left who called for one, as with host Greg Gutfeld’s comment (10/18/23):

Enough with the ceasefire talk…. I mean, Jewish protesters calling for a ceasefire is like the typical leftist pleading not to arrest their mugger because he had a bad childhood.

Fox also frequently compared Jewish peace advocates unfavorably with January 6 rioters (Media Matters, 10/19/23).

CNN on a few occasions featured a guest advocating a ceasefire, such as Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, the leader of the Palestinian National Initiative party. On Situation Room (10/17/23), Barghouti argued forcefully:

The only way out of this is to have immediate ceasefire, immediate supply of food, drinking water to people immediately in Gaza and then to have exchange of prisoners so that the Israeli prisoners can come back home safe to Israel.

On CNN‘s most-watched show, Anderson Cooper 360, the possibility of a ceasefire was mentioned in three segments during the study period—each time in an interview with a former military or intelligence official, none of whom supported the idea. For instance, with former Mossad agent Rami Igra on the show (10/16/23), Cooper asked about negotiating the release of hostages. Igra noted that Hamas had “twice already” said they were “willing to negotiate the release of the prisoners,” contingent upon a ceasefire and release of Palestinian prisoners. But Igra insisted Israel should not negotiate:

IGRA: Israel will do all it can in order to release these prisoners, and some of them will or maybe all of them will be released, but by force.

COOPER: That’s the only way.

IGRA: The only way to release prisoners in this kind of situation is force.

Meanwhile, the only time viewers of MSNBC‘s popular primetime show The Beat heard about the possibility of a ceasefire was when guest Elise Labott of Politico told host Ari Melber (10/12/23) that, for Israel, “this is not a ceasefire situation.” Melber responded:

If you said to someone in the United States, if ISIS or Al Qaeda or even a criminal group came into their home and murdered children or kidnapped children or burned babies, the next day you don’t typically hear rational individuals discuss a ceasefire or moving on. You discuss resorting to the criminal justice system or the war machine to respond.

Melber’s eagerness to lean on the “war machine” left his argument a muddle. Obviously, those calling for a ceasefire are not suggesting simply “moving on”—in fact, a “criminal justice system” response is more than compatible with a ceasefire, as you don’t try to bomb someone that you’re seeking to put on trial.

Netanyahu has been trying with limited success to equate Hamas with ISIS for many years now (Times of Israel, 8/27/14), and the Israeli government continues to try to paint Hamas’s tactics as so barbaric as to justify the mass killings by Israel. (See FAIR.org, 10/20/23.) But it’s passions, not reason, that allow individuals like Melber to gloss over the deaths of thousands of civilians—a child every 15 minutes, according to one widely circulated estimate—in their thirst for revenge.

With Israeli bombing intensifying and a ground invasion appearing imminent, US television news outlets’ refusal to give more than minimal airtime to the widespread calls for a ceasefire fails to reflect either US or global public opinion, and fuels the warmongering march to follow one horror with another.

Main story 11.1 was such a treat, I haven’t felt this engaged in a ToT episode since 6.1 and 6.2, potentially. Definitely more thoughts to come, but each NXX member had great scenes in this one and I’m very eager to see what happens in 11.2!!

@sarahsscrapbook @doctorwhobechdeltest

Bechdel analysis on series 11, first 5 episodes. Not as fully-formatted as Mewiet's work, but numbered. I judged petty conservatively on "is that line addressed to the woman who responds or a (mixed) group".

Bechdel-Wallace pass rate: 100%.

Two queer women speak to each other: Ghost Monument (Yaz and Angstrom) — unless you count the Doctor, which... I apparently don't..? think on balance it doesn't have quite the relevant import..? If you count the Doctor it's 100%, if you only count characters who are explicitly queer in a way modern-day humans could be it's just that, Frankie from Arachnids has a wife but dies without talking to any women.

Two women of colour speak to each other: Rosa (Rosa and Yaz), Arachnids (Yaz and Najia, briefly Yaz&Sonya and Yaz-Najia-Jade); 3-line exchange in Woman Who Fell to Earth (Yaz&Grace; disappointing!), two-line exchange in Tsuranga between Yaz and Mabli.

Total line length of exchanges: 58, 29, 68, 94, 117. the hypothetical infographics may need a new band of colour.

The Woman Who Fell to Earth 11.1 7 Oct 2018 1. SONIA: She smashed it with a hammer! 2. JANEY: Cos you keyed me nearside door! 3. SONIA: Because you parked in my spot! 4. JANEY: It's not your spot. There are no spots. 5. YASMIN: Ladies, please! Thank you. Can I suggest a simple solution? You pay for her cracked window, you pay for her scratched door, and we all agree that parking round here is a nightmare but that grown-ups really shouldn't need to call the police to sort it out for them. Now, if we're all agreed on that, there's no need for me to take any further police action and we can all get on with our lives. What do you reckon?

6. YASMIN: Hey! Hold on there please, madam. I need you to do as I say. This could be a potential crime scene. 7. DOCTOR: Why are you calling me madam? 8. YASMIN: Because you're a woman. 9. DOCTOR: Am I? Does it suit me? 10. YASMIN: What? 11. DOCTOR: Oh yeah, I remember. Sorry, half an hour ago I was a white-haired Scotsman.

12. DOCTOR: But the doors are locked. How did you both get in? 13. YASMIN: Driver's window was smashed in. 14. DOCTOR: What's your name? 15. YASMIN: PC Khan, Hallamshire Police. 16. DOCTOR: Name, not title. 17. YASMIN: Yasmin Khan. Yaz to my friends. Can I have your name, please? 18. DOCTOR: When I can remember it. 19. YASMIN: You don't know your own name? 20. DOCTOR: Course I know it. I just can't remember it.

21. YASMIN: Wait. Can you stop, please? This could be a major incident. I'm the one in charge here. 22. DOCTOR: What are you going to do? 23. YASMIN: Call it in to my station. 24. DOCTOR: What are you going to tell them? 25. YASMIN: The facts. 26. DOCTOR: Which are? 27. YASMIN: The train was attacked. 28. DOCTOR: By what? 29. YASMIN: I need to take a look at CCTV footage. 30. DOCTOR: And why do you need to check CCTV when we all saw it with our own eyes? 31. YASMIN: I can't not report it. 32. DOCTOR: You could hold off until we get the answers to the bigger questions. 33. YASMIN: Which are? 34. DOCTOR: What was it? Why is it here? Where's it going next? And, most importantly, how do we stop it? 'Cos whatever it is, I don't think it's done.

35. YASMIN: I'm going to be in such trouble if they find out I were there. 36. DOCTOR: Can we have the lights and siren on? 37. YASMIN: No! I shouldn't be doing any of this. 38. GRACE: Not Yasmin Khan? 39. YASMIN: Hello, Ryan's Nan. 40. GRACE: Haven't you done well for yourself, love. 41. DOCTOR: Two weird things, one city, same night, makes me nervous. 42. YASMIN: I'll see if there have been any more reports on that object. 43. DOCTOR: Good, cos we need all the information we can get. Meet us back here. 44. DOCTOR: Suddenly I feel really tired. 45. GRACE: That was a big fall you had, love. We should get you checked out at A&E. 46. DOCTOR: No, no, no. I never go anywhere that's just initials. 47. GRACE: What's your best guess, love? 48. DOCTOR: Two aliens, one city, one night. Best guess? Two species at war, using Earth as a battleground. 49. YASMIN: Are you joking? 50. DOCTOR: No, sorry.

51. YASMIN: What do we do when we get up there? 52. DOCTOR: Don't worry, I've got a plan. 53. YASMIN: Really? 54. DOCTOR: Well, I will have by the time we get to the top. 55. YASMIN: So everything we saw, everything we've lied to people about, is this normal for you? 56. DOCTOR: I'm just a traveller. Sometimes I see things need fixing, I do what I can. Except right now, I'm a traveller without a ship. I've stayed too long. I should get back to finding my Tardis. 57. YASMIN: Doctor. Can I just say, you really need to get out of those clothes. 58. DOCTOR: Right, yeah. It's been a long time since I bought women's clothes.

The Ghost Monument 11.2 14 Oct 2018 1. ANGSTROM: Krin. 2. DOCTOR: How much is a krin? 3. ANGSTROM: 200 kavlons. 4. ANGSTROM: I've never seen so much water. 5. YASMIN: You're Albarian, he said? 6. ANGSTROM: Yes. The planet of Albar. It's tiny. Crammed full of rusting high-rises. Everyone wants to leave any way they can. Even more so since... 7. YASMIN: Since what? 8. ANGSTROM: I don't know you. 9. DOCTOR: How many stages are there in the rally? 10. ANGSTROM: This time? 209 terrains, 94 planets. We start the race with nothing and barter our way up. 11. DOCTOR: Is it worth it? 12. ANGSTROM: To ensure enough for my family's safety? Yeah. Albar is being systematically cleansed. Half of my family are in hiding. The others are on the run. This is my only chance to bring us back together. 13. YASMIN: So you left your family to do this? 14. ANGSTROM: I left my family to try and save my family. They told me to. If I win, I find them, rescue them. If they're alive to be rescued. Whatever happens here, it's a better chance than I had back home. 15. YASMIN: You're making me miss my family. That's quite some achievement, considering my dad drives me bananas and my sister's trying to get me to move out so she can have my bedroom. And I only saw them yesterday. 16. ANGSTROM: Don't ever take them for granted. God, you all look shattered. 17. DOCTOR: You should all rest. I'll wake you when we get there. 18. ANGSTROM: How did you even do that? 19. DOCTOR: Did I not mention? I am really smart. 20. ANGSTROM: Thank you. 21. DOCTOR: You are very welcome. Amazing what you can learn from a SniperBot. 22. ANGSTROM: This exit ladder will take us up and out to the surface. 23. YASMIN: What's up there? 24. ANGSTROM: Acetylene fields. 25. DOCTOR: I thought maybe you didn't believe me that I'd get you home. 26. YASMIN: I thought you didn't believe yourself for a second back there. 27. DOCTOR: Who, me? No. Never doubted. Don't know what you mean. Home, then? 28. YASMIN: You can get us there? Really? 29. DOCTOR: Start believing.

Rosa 11.3 21 Oct 2018 1. YASMIN: Should we know what artron energy is? 2. DOCTOR: It's the same type of energy the Tardis runs off. There really shouldn't be traces of artron energy here, unless they're ours, which they're not. 3. YASMIN: And now you want to check it out. 4. DOCTOR: Yeah, I should. Quick look, but quietly. History is very delicate. We stick together. 5. DOCTOR: Brilliant. Rosa Parks. Lovely to meet you, Rosa Parks. Big fan. 6. ROSA: Excuse me? 7. DOCTOR: Big fan... of Montgomery. I am... we are just visiting. Recommend anything for tourists like us? 8. ROSA: I recommend you get yourselves the hell out of Alabama before you find yourselves in trouble you can't get out of. 9. DOCTOR: Okay, listen. I can deal with this. You guys go back to the Tardis and be safe. 10. YASMIN: While you do what? 11. DOCTOR: Locate the source of these energy anomalies. We're one day out of a tipping point in Earth history. I don't want anything disrupting that. It's easy for me here. It's more dangerous for you. You can walk away from this. 12. DOCTOR: This is where the artron signals converge. At the bus company. 13. YASMIN: All roads lead to Rosa Parks. 14. DOCTOR: Yeah. Bit of a worry. Let's have a look around. 15. YASMIN: Evening. She was coming home from work. I remember cos she said people thought she didn't stand cos she was tired from working, but she wasn't. 16. DOCTOR: Where did she work? 17. YASMIN: I think it was in a shop, like a department store. 18. YASMIN: Hi. Nice to see you again. Mrs Parks, right? 19. ROSA: Yes. 20. DOCTOR: You helped us out earlier today with our little misunderstanding. 21. ROSA: I remember. British. 22. DOCTOR: Yes. Funny thing, you'll never believe this, we're actually doing market research for bus companies. Looking at people's transport habits. Answer the questions, enter the raffle for a prize. You get this bus this time every day? 23. ROSA: Most days. Always this time. 24. DOCTOR: And you live...? 25. ROSA: Cleveland Court. Next stop. Ma'am, if you keep sitting there, we're all going to have to move. 26. ROSA: If I win your raffle, will that give me the right to sit anywhere I want on this bus? 27. DOCTOR: No. 28. ROSA: I didn't think so. This is my stop. 29. DOCTOR: Mrs Parks, enormous clothing emergency. Can you help me? 30. ROSA: That is one nasty tear. 31. YASMIN: Yes, it is. And there is nothing us Brits hate more than a clothing emergency. 32. DOCTOR: Mrs Parks, I have to go out in that coat this evening, and if it's torn I'll get in such trouble. 33. YASMIN: Can you take a look at it now? Double time Christmas bonus? 34. ROSA: (checks her work book) Well, I don't have any collections until tomorrow afternoon. I guess I could fit you in. Now, if you come back just before we close... 35. YASMIN: I'll wait while you work. Keep you company. 36. ROSA: I don't need company. 37. DOCTOR: No, but my coat does. It's very valuable. I don't usually let it out of my sight. Thank you. You're going to make a big difference. 38. ROSA: Oh, I'd best set to work, then. 39. DOCTOR: Don't let her out of your sight.

40. YASMIN: Have you always wanted to be a seamstress? 41. ROSA: I dreamed of being a teacher, but my grandmother got sick, then my mother, so that was the end of school. 42. YASMIN: I'm sorry about that. 43. ROSA: Oh, I got myself educated. Just took longer than I thought. 44. YASMIN: But you kept going. 45. ROSA: Always. An education makes you unstoppable. 46. YASMIN: Everything here's a fight for you. Don't you get tired? What keeps you going? 47. ROSA: Promise of tomorrow. When today isn't working, tomorrow is what you have. You married? Got a job back home? 48. YASMIN: Not married, and I'm a police officer. 49. ROSA: You're police? 50. YASMIN: Yeah. Just starting. Not where I want to be. 51. ROSA: Hmm. Where is it you want to be? 52. YASMIN: In charge. 53. ROSA: (laughs) Amen to that. 54. YASMIN: Shouldn't you be finishing up? 55. ROSA: If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well. 56. YASMIN: But don't you have a bus to get? 57. ROSA: I can always walk.

58. ROSA: I think that should just about... 59. YASMIN: Love it. Let's go. I'll walk you out. Pay you on the way. 60. ROSA: Oh. 61. DOCTOR: Yaz, you're here. How's it going? 62. YASMIN: Mrs Parks fixed your coat. 63. DOCTOR: Oh, thank you, Mrs Parks. Beautiful work. Much appreciated. 64. ROSA: You're welcome, ma'am.

65. YASMIN: What's the matter? What are you doing? 66. DOCTOR: Counting seats. 67. YASMIN: Has it worked? Have we done enough? 68. DOCTOR: I don't know.

Arachnids in the UK 11.4 28 Oct 2018 1. YASMIN: What're you going to do now? 2. DOCTOR: Oh, you know. Back in the box. There's loads to see. 3. YASMIN: By yourself? 4. DOCTOR: Yeah, I suppose. 5. YASMIN: Do you want to come for tea at mine? 6. DOCTOR: Definitely! Yes, I would. Thanks. I love tea. Tea at Yaz's? Amazing. 7. YASMIN: Hi, Mum. 8. NAJIA [hotel reception]: Hey. Can you pick me up from work? 9. YASMIN: What, now? I'm just in the middle of... 10. NAJIA [hotel reception]: Yes, now. It's urgent. I'll text you the address. Don't let on to your dad. I'll tell you everything when I see you. 11. YASMIN: Fine. 12. NAJIA [hotel reception]: Thanks, sweetheart. 13. SONYA: Married to the job. 14. YASMIN: At least I've got a job to be married to. Bye. 15. SONYA: Hope you don't crash. 16. DOCTOR: I mean, I could open the door. 17. JADE: What, like, break it in? 18. DOCTOR: No, just sort the lock. If you thought it was appropriate. If you're worried about her. 19. JADE: I am. 20. NAJIA: Quick, get in before anyone sees. 21. YASMIN: Hi! 22. NAJIA: Oh! What's the big hug for? I only saw you this morning. 23. YASMIN: Yeah, well, it feels longer. This is well swanky. 24. NAJIA: Don't get attached. We need to go. 25. YASMIN: Can I not have a quick look round? 26. NAJIA: No, Yaz. I've been sacked. 27. YASMIN: What? Mum! But you've just started. 28. NAJIA: I know. 29. YASMIN: They can't do that. What happened?

30. JADE: We reckon there could be around 21 quadrillion spiders on the planet in total. 31. DOCTOR: So what sort of research are you doing in here? 32. JADE: We're interested in utilising the genetic strengths of arachnids. Ordinary spider silk is as strong as steel or as tough as Kevlar. 33. DOCTOR: Did Anna have access to your experiments? 34. JADE: No, she was on the admin team. Everything we do here is secure. We discard all carcasses responsibly through a specialist company. Unless she was taking things without us knowing, but... she's not that kind of person. I should notify the police. 35. DOCTOR: What is it you wanted to show us? 36. JADE: Reports of unusual spider activity in Sheffield over the last three months, from the police, pest controllers, and to us here. Rare sightings, an increase in numbers, spiders you don't normally see at this time of year. 37. DOCTOR: Something's wrong with the spider ecosystem in South Yorkshire. 38. JADE: Exactly. But we don't know what. They have nothing in common. Different species, different quantities. Some are large massings, some have been a profusion of web-building. I can't work out if they're confused, or angry or scared. 39. DOCTOR: Or trying to send a message. 40. JADE: What are you doing? 41. DOCTOR: Where's that?

42. NAJIA: Did you hear that? 43. YASMIN: Yeah. (Yasmin goes to the internal wall and carefully puts her ear to it. We are shown the giant spider on the other side. Najia's phone rings.) 44. NAJIA: Hello? Yeah. It's for you. It's a doctor. 45. YASMIN: Hi, Doctor. You're never going to believe it. 46. DOCTOR: Are you at the hotel where your mum works? 47. YASMIN [OC]: Yeah. 48. DOCTOR: Can you let us in? 49. DOCTOR: (hugs Najia) Hi, Yaz's mum. 50. NAJIA: Najia. Yaz, they can't be here. 51. DOCTOR: Najia, you made a very awesome human. Tell me what's going on. 52. YASMIN: The room next door is covered in cobwebs, top to bottom. 53. DOCTOR: Just like your neighbour's house. 54. YASMIN: What? 55. DOCTOR: Big spider problem in this city right now, Yaz. Glad to be home? 56. NAJIA: I know the way out. 57. DOCTOR: Everyone, follow Yaz's mum. 58. NAJIA: It's Najia.

59. JADE: They're trying to make the whole hotel their web. 60. DOCTOR: And we're the flies. We're not leaving. We have to find out why they're here and stop them getting any further. We need to find a safe haven. Yaz's mum? 61. NAJIA: Kitchen? 62. DOCTOR: Lead on. 63. DOCTOR: Any issues with spiders before today, Najia, here or at home? 64. NAJIA: My home? 65. DOCTOR: One of your neighbours had a spider problem. The link between both places is you. 66. DOCTOR: Are you sure? 67. NAJIA: Sorry, but who are you? How'd you know my daughter? Why have I never met you before? 68. YASMIN: Oh, not now. 69. NAJIA: Yes, now. It's not a difficult question. 70. DOCTOR: It is a bit of a long answer. 71. NAJIA: Well, I've got time. 72. DOCTOR: But I haven't. Not right now. 73. NAJIA: Are you two seeing each other? 74. DOCTOR: I don't think so. Are we? 75. YASMIN: We're friends. 76. DOCTOR: Hmm. 77. YASMIN: I owe the Doctor my life, quite a few times over. 78. NAJIA: What's that even supposed to mean? 79. YASMIN: Please can we not have this conversation now? 80. YASMIN: Why are they in cocoons? 81. DOCTOR: I think they're being stored as food. 82. JADE: Spiders don't eat people. 83. DOCTOR: I said they're being stored. They haven't eaten them. They're outsized and confused. All their behavioural patterns have been disrupted. How did they get like this? 84. JADE: It doesn't make any sense. This is not what spiders do. 85. YASMIN: Have you seen what's down here? 86. JADE: It's landfill. 87. NAJIA: Is that what the smell is? It goes on for miles. 88. DOCTOR: And down.

89. DOCTOR: Because spiders can keep growing as long as they live. 90. JADE: What if our waste included something that we thought was dead, but was still just alive? 91. DOCTOR: And with enough food in all that waste to survive, and enough toxicity to mutate and to keep on growing. 92. DOCTOR: It's grown too big. 93. JADE: She's suffocating. She's got too big to breathe efficiently. Even moving around in here, it's using up what little oxygen she can absorb. She won't survive for long. She's more scared of us than we are of her. 94. DOCTOR: I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

The Tsuranga Conundrum 11.5 4 Nov 2018 1. DOCTOR: Nobody move. (scans it) If I can keep it in temporal lock... No, it's got too many sensors, it won't work. It was camouflaged! This is someone's idea of a nasty joke. 2. YASMIN: What is it? 3. DOCTOR: Sonic mine. It's counting down. 4. DOCTOR: You're mentioned in the Book of Celebrants. You helped defeat the Army of the Aeons at the Battle of the Underkind. 5. CICERO: I was one of many. 6. DOCTOR: You're a bit of a legend, though. 7. CICERO: And who are you? 8. DOCTOR: I'm the Doctor. 9. CICERO: Wait. I've heard that name. Aren't you in the Book of Celebrants? Isn't there a whole chapter about you? 10. DOCTOR: Me? No. Very common name. Anyway, lovely chatting. Must be off. Hope you all get better soon. 11. DOCTOR: You can do this. 12. MABLI: Right. Yeah. I can. 13. DOCTOR: What did you want to show us? 14. MABLI: Well, if I sync my ocular recorders with the databanks... MABLI: All Tsuranga medics are implanted with lenses so we can record all treatments for training purposes, lawsuits, data records. YASMIN: Like a posh version of my uniform camera.

15. DOCTOR: Too fast to chase and capture, too toxic to touch directly. It's a bit of a puzzler. 16. MABLI: It's going to kill us all, isn't it? 17. DOCTOR: Whoa, Mabli! You went there way too quick. I said a puzzler, not a death sentence. I mean, it's a bit of a challenge, and I can't quite see the solution yet, but that's life. Or medicine. Patients present problems, you figure them out and come up with solutions. That's what this is. A problem to be diagnosed. Medicine to be administered. You're a medic, I'm the Doctor. 18. MABLI: A doctor of medicine? 19. DOCTOR: Well, medicine, science, engineering, candyfloss, Lego, philosophy, music, problems, people, hope. Mostly hope. 20. MABLI: I'm struggling to see much hope here. 21. DOCTOR: It doesn't just offer itself up. You have to use your imagination. Imagine the solution and work to make it a reality. Whole worlds pivot on acts of imagination. 22. MABLI: So what are you imagining now? 23. DOCTOR: Broadly, I'm imagining that thing off this ship. Specifically, I'm trying to imagine the answer to the question, what does it want? 24. MABLI: Does it have to want anything? 25. DOCTOR: Every living thing, from the tiniest to the largest, wants something. Food, survival, peace.

26. MABLI: But the first thing it did was kill Astos. That must be what it wants to do to all of us. 27. DOCTOR: You know, there's a much faster way back to Resus One. Why is it routing us this way? 28. MABLI: Asteroid field. Fast-moving asteroids all around. Really unpredictable. (An alarm sounds.) 29. DOCTOR: What are these? 30. MABLI: They're... bad. This craft has over 5,000 different scan sensors. They're constantly feeding back to Resus One. They monitor everything, both internally and externally, check the routing's stable and there are no hostile forms, however microbial, on board. The systems have detected the Pting. They're asking us to confirm or deny anything's wrong. We can't take a creature like that back to Resus One. There's thousands of vulnerable patients. 31. DOCTOR: And if we confirm it's on board? 32. MABLI: They'll recommend evacuation. 33. DOCTOR: But we can't evacuate. 34. MABLI: They go straight to RST. Remote structural termination. They destroy the ship. 35. DOCTOR: Right. Nothing wrong. We're fine. 36. MABLI: We can't keep doing that. Three dismissals and they don't believe you. Precautionary detonation. 37. DOCTOR: Oh, great. Who designed that? So this ship either gets destroyed by that creature, or by control from Resus One? 38. MABLI: Yeah. Sorry.

39. DOCTOR: I thought there'd be more questions. 40. CICERO: I've encountered a Pting before. It massacred my fleet. 41. DOCTOR: Okay. What did you learn about them? What do they want? 42. CICERO: They kill. Relentlessly. 43. MABLI: It must've got to the central systems. That means we'll soon lose oxygen and heat. 44. CICERO: It'll go for whatever's powering the craft next. 45. MABLI: We're on an anti-matter drive. 46. CICERO: We could use stazers to defend ourselves. They can stun it briefly. Got any on board? 47. MABLI: A couple, I think, in here. 48. CICERO: If we're going to live through this... 49. MABLI+CICERO+DOCTOR: Protect the anti-matter drive! 50. DOCTOR: Snap! 51. CICERO: Can we get to Resus One any faster than currently routed? 52. DOCTOR: Not without breaking the ship's auto-routing, which would send a signal back to Resus One. 53. CICERO: And they'd go straight to Hostility Protocols. 54. DOCTOR: I could create a false positive route signal to send back, but there's no manual controls in the NavChamber. 55. CICERO: Show us.

56. DOCTOR: Everything okay? 57. CICERO: Yeah. 58. DOCTOR: With me, please. 59. YASMIN: Where do you think it is right now? 60. DOCTOR: I don't know. I can't trace it since the diagnostic systems drained. 61. MABLI: Doctor, quick word, private. 62. DOCTOR: Catch you up. Go on. 63. MABLI: Eve Cicero. Her condition... 64. DOCTOR: What about it? 65. MABLI: Patient confidentiality. I can't discuss with you. But if you're a doctor, maybe you should examine her. I've got to go.

66. DOCTOR: Sorry, where are we? Oh, anti-matter drive. What century is this? 67. CICERO: Are you joking? 68. DOCTOR: No. We travel in Time. 69. CICERO: Are you joking now? 70. DOCTOR: No. 71. DURKAS: 67th. 72. DOCTOR: Ah. Nice century. Bit tricky in the middle. It turns out all right in the end. See this, Yaz? Anti-matter drive. 73. YASMIN: Oh. I did a bit on anti-matter at school. Never quite understood it. 74. DOCTOR: The thing with anti-matter is you have to either find it or generate it. That's what this bit does. Particle accelerator. 75. YASMIN: Like at CERN? We did that in physics. No, but the thing at CERN is massive. 76. DOCTOR: In your time, generating anti-matter cost a massive amount of money. This is progress. Things get smaller, faster and cheaper. This is like the iPhone version of CERN, accelerating enough particles to power this entire craft. 77. YASMIN: So how does it work? 78. DOCTOR: The particle accelerator smashes the atoms together, like a little anti-matter factory, to produce positrons, which are then stored very carefully inside electric and magnetic fields. The positrons interact with the fuel materials to produce heat, which produces thrust. 79. DURKAS: It's pretty old school, this one. 80. DOCTOR: It's beautiful. Anti-matter powering the movement of matter. Bringing positrons into existence to move other forms of life across space. I love it. Conceptually, and actually. Yaz, you have to keep this safe from the Pting. If this drive gets destroyed, this ship will lose propulsion, we'll drift endlessly while the Pting... 81. YASMIN: I get it. It won't be good.

82. DOCTOR: Why are you on this ship, General? 83. CICERO: Corton fever. Contracted it on my last duty. Can't quite shake it. What are you doing? 84. DOCTOR: Hmm. Why would you be using adrenaline blockers for corton fever? 85. CICERO: How do you know about the blockers? 86. DOCTOR: Your slow pulse, my really good hearing. You asked Ronan for some. It isn't corton fever, is it. Is it pilot's heart? I'm sorry, Eve, but if we're going to survive this, you need to be honest with me. 87. CICERO: I started as a pulse pilot. I graduated to Neuro Fleet Commander faster than anyone in Keeban history. I'm the most decorated general. I'm the poster woman. I cannot have pilot's heart. I cannot be that example to others. 88. DOCTOR: But you have. And you've been using more and more blocker shots to get through the day. 89. CICERO: Trying to control the surges of adrenaline around the heart. One big surge could kill me. 90. CICERO: Ever flown that way? 91. DOCTOR: No, but you could talk me through it. 92. CICERO: It takes people a dozen years to train. 93. DOCTOR: Oh, I really need to spend more time in the 67th century. 94. CICERO: I know how to do this. I'm not stopping now. Everyone's going to live. Including me!

95. DOCTOR: Mabli said that Resus One would terminate the ship if they found a Pting on board. How would they do that? It's too far for missiles. It has to be the same for every Tsurangan Rescue Craft. It's built in. Self-detonation. 96. YASMIN: Bingo. 97. DOCTOR: Ten points for Yasmin Khan. And yes, I am keeping score, for all of you. 98. DOCTOR: Pick a number between 1 and 100. 99. YASMIN: 51. 100. DOCTOR: Pentagonal number. Interesting. 101. (She sonicks the bomb and the countdown beeps start.) 102. DOCTOR: Get in that corner. 103. YASMIN: What was the number for? 104. DOCTOR: Number of seconds before the bomb goes off. I moved it forward a bit. 105. YASMIN: What? I would've gone higher! 106. DOCTOR: Good number, 51. 107. YASMIN: I'm really trusting you on this bomb, but I don't know what you're doing. 108. DOCTOR: Think of the Pting as a mouse, and the bomb as a piece of cheese. 109. YASMIN: A very large piece of cheese about to explode and take us all with it. 110. DOCTOR: It's not a perfect analogy, I'll admit. You could've picked a bigger number. Where is it? Come on.

111. DOCTOR: As the bomb gets closer, the energy's building, getting ready to blow. The Pting must be attracted to that, surely. That's what I've been working on this whole time. Oh, please don't be wrong. I'd be so embarrassed. 112. YASMIN: And dead. Doctor... (The Pting arrives.) 113. DOCTOR: I'm not bad. Admit it. I'm not bad. It's all in the timing. 114. MABLI: They, er... they say quarantine scanning and craft detox should take no more than three hours, then they'll admit us to the facility. They're booking your teleport to Seffilun, as soon as you've spoken to the investigators. 115. DOCTOR: Thank you, Mabli. I'll be sure to tell them how brilliant you were. 116. MABLI: You all were. Light in dark times. 117. DOCTOR: People prevail. Hope prevails.
